Dow Revoloop Resins for Cable Jacketing With Postconsumer Content

Dow announced the launch of a range of Revoloop Recycled Plastics Resins that incorporate postconsumer recycled (PCR) material into cable jacketing to address customers’ varying needs and circularity goals.

This latest addition to the Revoloop Resins portfolio prioritizes similar performance as virgin plastic material for cable jackets while offering sustainability benefits. The polyethylene-based compounds will incorporate PCR ingredients in HDPE, MDPE and LDPE cable jackets. According to the company, rigorous assessments are performed to ensure the products maintain the performance, durability and reliability of traditional materials used in cable jacketing applications.

“With the launch of Revoloop Resins for the global wire and cable industry, we are expanding our sustainability portfolio, while helping our power and telecommunications customers meet their own targets,” says Edit Berczi, global wire and cable marketing manager for Dow’s Packaging and Specialty Plastics business. “This offering, along with our steadfast commitment to quality and reliability, and the high importance we place on safety, helps support our customers' approach to PCR across the globe.”

Dow has stated the company’s ambition to commercialize 3 million tons of circular and renewable materials annually by 2030.
